Ibrahim Musa Yola, MD, MPH

Ibrahim Musa Yola is an MD, holds an MPH in Epidemiology from Tulane University, and Fellowship of West African College of Physicians (FWACP) in Internal Medicine with interest in infectious and tropical diseases. He is currently enrolled in Masters of Science in Clinical Research as part of the T32 training program. His research focuses on evaluating the lifetime risk of developing heart failure in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS); looking at temporal trends between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and those with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and other competing risks of heart failure. He is also evaluating the lifetime risk of developing left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in the FHS using echocardiographic and electrocardiographic studies. He is also completing a manuscript on the association of lung diffusion capacity with cardiac remodeling and risk of heart failure in the community.

He has further research interests in evaluating the impact of infectious agents (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus, CMV, toxoplasmosis) on cardiovascular diseases in the community as well as looking at the liver and cardiovascular diseases.
